Scintillatium has a halflife of 16 minutes. if a sample has 800 grams, find a formula for its mass after t minutes.
1 answer:
<span>Halflife is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its current mass. If t is the time elapsed, the formula for the halflife would be:
final mass= original mass * </span>
<span>
If you put the information of the problem into the formula, the equation will be:
</span>final mass= original mass *
final mass= 800g *
final mass= original mass * </span>
<span>
If you put the information of the problem into the formula, the equation will be:
</span>final mass= original mass *
final mass= 800g *

Answer:
There was 450.068g of water in the pot.
Explanation:
Latent heat of vaporisation = 2260 kJ/kg = 2260 J/g = L
Specific Heat of Steam = 2.010 kJ/kg C = 2.010 J/g = s
Let m = x g be the weight of water in the pot.
Energy required to vaporise water = mL = 2260x
Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 100 C to 135 C = msΔT = 70.35x
Total energy required =
Hence, there was 450.068g of water in the pot.
